Rice farmer shot as bandits invade family get-together
A Black Bush Polder rice farmer was shot by bandits at around 02:00 early yesterday morning at around 2:00 hrs at his sister's No.56 Village, Corentyne home.
Krishnadat Pydanna, was wounded in the shoulder and has been admitted to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation.
Pydanna said he was at a family gathering, hosted by an overseas-based Guyanese couple, when five masked men armed with guns and cutlasses invaded the premises.
The father of four recalled that he was upstairs resting from the merriment when he heard screams and loud banging. Pydanna stated that as he was about to go downstairs to investigate the source of the chaos, he was intercepted by one of the gunmen who shot him.
He recalled that the gunmen barged into the house upturning furniture while heading to the room in which the hosts, Andy Ramjit and Rovina Ramjit, kept their belongings.
The couple and other family members sustained minor injuries but fortunately, no child was harmed during the ordeal.
Police in a statement yesterday said that they are investigating an armed robbery that occurred at about 02:30h. at No. 56 Village, Corentyne, during which an overseas-based Guyanese couple was robbed by five men, three of whom were armed with firearms and the others with cutlasses.
According to the police Andy Ramjit, 28, and Rovina Ramjit, 23, were with relatives having a party when the armed men entered and held them up. Pydanna, they said, resisted the men and was shot to his left shoulder.
The perpetrators then took away a quantity of jewellery from Andy and Rovina Ramjit and escaped. Andy and Rovina Ramjit were treated at the New Amsterdam Hospital and sent away.
Relatives of the injured man stated that the bandits escaped with approximately $400,000 in cash and $1.5M worth of jewellery.
No one has so far been arrested but investigations are continuing.

"Great way to continue"
The amount of detailed story telling is never lost among all the action in this book. It is well crafted and very enjoyable. The story is exciting and it's really hard to break away from it.
I enjoyed the dialog between all the players, it's intelligent and cunning.
Jay Snider is by far my favorite narrator. He's been perfect in every book I've head, and this one is no different.
This book ties in perfectly with the first one, I like it when the stories and characters are linked to the first book (and previous mentioned experiences) it adds volumes of depth to both the story and the characters.
"Not as perfect as the first 2 books, still GREAT!"
I hate to give Jay Snyder anything less than 5 stars... He is my favorite narrator, but on this particular book there was a huge amount of female dialog. And I feel that a female narrator should have been added in addition to Jay Snyder. It would have added more realism to the performance.
I really enjoyed everything that happened right after Court's rescue... The story becomes even more twisted and the action is mindblowing.
I found the first 2 books to be perfect. This one a little less, mostly due to the long stall when Court is spending so much time with a family... Soon after that it picks up and it's back to business for the Grayman. Other than that I wish this time around they would have added a female narrator for certain scenes. Other than that this is as close to perfection as you can get.
"Hard to stop listening..."
I wish I could have listened to it all in 1 sitting... It was really engaging and I had a hard time putting it down.
The high pace action and well crafted ballet of wits and survival instincts make this book really addictive. I enjoyed the story, the awesome narration... And knowing that I had 2 more sequels to look forward to make me a happy camper.
"Great story, great performance"
The story gets you involved, as soon as things start to bad (at the beginning of the story of course) you're drawn in first of all by Jay Snyder's great performance. I was truly impressed by the overall experience.
Looking forward to the second book.
"Don't like talking zombies"
better voice actors and story
Talking zombies come across as corny and destroy any chance of me getting into a good story. Sorry but that's my personal taste, it's not working for me.
The voices weren't all that great, they were overacting and annoying.

Re: Schaub calls out Suh, wouldn't want him on Texans
I sort of object to the "Schaub calls out..." inference in the title. At first they tried to get him to comment on the event itself by asking, in so many words, "why didn't you get pissed off? To which Schaub answered (again paraphrasing from memory), "I'm trying to play QB, get the next play, and run my offense. I don't have time to get caught up..."
Well that wasn't soundbite worthy enough so they changed tactics and asked the would you like him as a teammate question. At first his answer was a simple "no". And it seemed to me that that was all Schaub had to say about it. But not getting quite the bulletin board sound bite they were looking for, they kept digging and digging at Schaub until he expounded.
This whole mess is getting the Texans way too much attention. Now ESPN - and the OP - is saying Schaub is "calling Suh out".
I suppose next the media will go to Suh or Schwartz and ask "did you hear what Schaub said about you?"

Christine Chaillot, Ed., the Orthodox Church in Eastern Europe in the Twentieth Century
Buda, Daniel, The Ecumenical Review
Christine Chaillot, ed., The Orthodox Church in Eastern Europe in the Twentieth Century, Oxford, et al.: Peter Lang, 2011, 464 pp.
Christine Chaillot, a converted Swiss Orthodox belonging to the Ecumenical Patriarchate, is well known as a specialist in Orthodox (both Eastern and Oriental) Churches. She has published several books on this subject, contributing tremendously to a better knowledge of Orthodoxy on a worldwide level. Her last publication that she edited is focused on the history of the Orthodox Churches in Eastern and Central Europe in the twentieth century and is understood as a continuation of a similar volume dedicated to the Orthodox Churches in Western Europe in the same century (published in French and then English in 2006).
The volume is privileged to be introduced (ix-xvii) by Metropolitan Kallistos (Ware) of Diokleia who is, no doubt, the best-known Orthodox theologian alive. He tries to identify the common points of the history of Orthodox Churches in Eastern Europe as well as the main challenges of their future. Three major developments have marked the history of Orthodoxy from this part of the world in the last hundred years: (1) The Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, which brought communism in Russia and from there, after the Second World War, in other Eastern and Central European countries. The communist ideology caused either a direct and violent persecution (for example in Russia during the 1920s and 1930s and in Albania) or indirect and concealed persecution of the churches in other orthodox East European countries. However, Metropolitan Kallistos observes very well that "the aim of the communist authorities in the order countries of Eastern Europe (Albania excepted) was to control rather than to annihilate the church" (xi). (2) The exchange population that took place between Greece and Turkey in 1923, which caused the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople to be deprived of the large majority of its flock. And (3) the collapse of communism in 1988-1989, which permitted the revival of Orthodox churches in all Eastern Europe. In the foreword are identified some of the common points of the Orthodox churches, as well as their challenges: active support of the post-communist states or at least positive neutrality in relationship with the Orthodox churches; "the lack of inter-orthodox unity and cooperation, not on the level of doctrine and worship ..., but in the domain of church administration and jurisdiction" (xiii); the issue of the pan-Orthodox Synod, "the strong spirit of nationalism that prevails in almost all Orthodox churches" (xv); the need of Orthodox churches to go through the process of "transition from the situation of a state church to that of a [free] church, existing in what is essentially a multicultural secular society." This process is "painful," but necessary (xvi).
An editor's introduction (1-8) brings more clarifications to the content and purpose of the volume. …

In their concert performances, whether in the intimate environment of the Bach, Dancing and Dynamite Society's hall overlooking Half Moon Bay in California, at the Boston Conservatory, or in a two thousand-seat festival tent at the Caramoor Jazz Festival, Frank Kimbrough and Joe Locke have succeeded in creating a quiet electricity that belies the perception of the "introspective" duo. Their playing has been described as comfortable, telepathic and warm, yet having virtuosity to spare.
"Magic is magic because it can't be explained" says Kimbrough about his duo with Joe Locke. "Joe and I have known each other for more than twenty years. Sometimes when we play, we find ourselves as surprised at our rapport as anyone who may be listening. Playing with Joe is always a beautiful experience, no matter the circumstances." Frank Kimbrough and Joe Locke have recorded three CDs for OmniTone: their critically acclaimed 1999 debut Saturn's Child, The Willow, released in 2003, and their latest, Verrazano Moon, recorded live at the Windham (NY) Chamber Music Festival in 2006, and released in October, 2008.
Media coverage of the duo made much of the connections between Saturn's Child and the Chick Corea/Gary Burton classic Crystal Silence, but The Willow showcases a broader pallette of sounds. Locke adds marimba to the mix, Tim Ries plays saxophones, flutes and bass clarinet, and Jeff Ballard contributes hand percussion. And of course, the distinctive and unmistakable flavor of Maria Schneider's title track adds its own dimension as well. Like Schneider, Kimbrough and Locke have created a sound that has the accessible melodies to appeal to budding jazz fans, while also having the sophistication, soul and intellectual depth to satisfy aficionados."...the Frank Kimbrough/Joe Locke duo proved to be the high point of the afternoon. This duo has mastered the art of the perfectly placed note, the ebulliently swinging storyline, the poetic ending. There was no mistaking the audience's amazement."

Much like friends who, despite the passing of many years between encountering each other, pick up where they left off as if no time has passed, Verrazano Moon—recorded live in 2006—captures Locke and Kimbrough continuing the conversation begun seven years earlier on the stunningly beautiful Saturn's Child (OmniTone, 1999). Locke and Kimbrough are players with that rare ability to find perfection in every corner. Virtuosity is a given, yet both players approach the music with complete reverence and respect; it's the music, first and foremost after all, and when the musicians serve it, magic happens."(OmniTone 12201)

(Saturn's Child is) ... "a very different sort of recording... The players... keep the edge polished, but don't round it off. Their chords have too many minor-key sparkles, their interplay staggers across too many off-centered rhythms, to be mistaken for mere prettiness. It's thoughtful and stimulating, full of more quiet surprises than its mood would lead you to suspect."
Fred Kaplan, The Absolute Sound
"These luminous duets offer plenty of substance and creativity... mellow but interesting, complex but not cluttered, and frequently lovely. Saturn's Child may inspire new appreciation for the importance of balance and touch... A good showcase for two inventive, melody – oriented players who deserve further investigation."
Jon Andrews, Downbeat
"a gloriously reflective, deep musical journey. There isn't a note played on this CD that doesn't spring from the reflective mindset that we cherish most...the inner spirit that brings us peace and beauty, inspiration and truth."
Paula Edenstein - Jazzreview.com
Saturn's Child was chosen as one of the Best Jazz Recordings of 1999 by Jazzonline.com, and was featured on NPR's All Things Considered in April 2000.
Joe Locke – vibraphonist, composer and arranger is known internationally for his contagious, high-energy vibraphone playing. With more than a dozen recordings as a leader for labels such as Sirocco, Milestone, and Steeplechase, Locke is one of the most in-demand vibraphonists on the scene today. As a sideman, he has worked with a diversity of artists including Eddie Henderson, Cecil Taylor, Dianne Reeves, David Hazeltine, Walt Weiskopf, Bob Berg and Grover Washington Jr. He and Kimbrough have also worked together on Locke's Beauty Burning CD on Sirocco, and on recordings by Russian tenor saxophonist Igor Butman and vocalist Kendra Shank.

Endemic Range/ Yangtze River Basin
Silurus meridionalis is a demersal fish endemic to the middle Yangtze River. The upper Yangtze basin is considered the part from the headwaters to the Three Gorges area, or a catchment area of approximately one million square kilometers; this upper basin is quite mountainous. The most downstream element of the upper Yangtze basin is often termed the Sichuan Basin; here the Yangtze cuts through Triassic and Permian material before entering the Three Gorges. The Three Gorges area, generally regarded as the heart of the middle Yangtze, is a stretch of the river that runs approximately 660 kilometers, terminating at the site of the Three Gorges Dam.
There are several endemic benthopelagic fishes are found in the Yangtze, including: Anabarilius polylepis, Liobagrus kingi, Bangana rendahli, Pseudogyrinocheilus prochilus, and Sinocyclocheilus grahami; however, these benthopelagic endemics are generally found in the upper Yangtze basin.

Yangtze River Demersal Habitat
This taxon is one of a number of demersal species in the Yangtze River system. Demersal river fish are found at the river bottom, feeding on benthos and zooplankton.
The upper Yangtze basin consists chiefly of Paleozoic limestone and terrigenous sedimentary rock, with some granitic material. The most downstream element of the upper Yangtze basin is often termed the Sichuan Basin; here the Yangtze cuts through Triassic and Permian material before entering the Three Gorges. The Three Gorges area is a stretch of the Yangtze that runs approximately 660 kilometers, terminating at the site of the Three Gorges Dam. Prior to construction of the dam, the Three Gorges area was a site of exceptional natural beauty; after dam construction the gorge areas were filled with approximately 100 meters in depth of Yangtze water, and considerable amounts of the watershed were graded.
The lower Yangtze basin consists of anabranching river structures and Pleistocene coastal terraces. Prior to development of the Three Gorges Dam, the Yangtze Delta was replenished with a copious sediment load reaching the river mouth; however, the dam has now severely limited the natural flow and deposition of sediment to the delta region. Consequently, the integrity of the delta is been compromised, with scouring exceeding deposition, and the very stability of the delta is endangered.
Lower and middle basins of the Yangtze carry heavy pollutant loads. In the lower Yangtze basin nitrate levels are high, measuring at about 1000 tons per day at Datong; these levels accrue from high applications of chemical fertilizer applied and also considerable loadings of untreated sewage due to the large human population of the basin, with correspondingly little infrastructure for sewage treatment.
Heavy metal concentrations are also high in the lower Yangtze, with measurements of dissolved lead at 0.078 microgram/liter; cadmium (0.024 microgram/liter), chromium (0.57 microgram/liter), copper (1.9 microgram/liter), and nickel (0.50 microgram/liter). Levels of dissolved arsenic have been measured at 3.3 microgram/liter) and zinc at 1.5 microgram/liter), both notably higher by factors of 5.5 and 2.5 respectively than other typical large world rivers. In Yangtze River suspended sediment, arsenic comprises 31 microgram/gram, lead comprises 83 microgram/gram, and nickel comprises 52 micrograms/gram of sediment content
There are several large native demersal fish found in the Yangtze River, chiefly the 250 centimeter (cm) long endangered Yangtze sturgeon (Acipenser dabryanus), the 120 cm Chinese sturgeon (Acipenser sinensis), the 200 cm Giant mottled eel (Anguilla marmorata), the 122 cm black carp (Mylopharyngodon piceus), the 300 cm Chinese paddlefish (Psephurus gladius), and the 100 cm Silurus meridionalis. Furthermore, there are a few exceptionally large native benthopelagic fishes found in the Yangtze, namely, the 105 cm Silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix), the 200 cm Wuchang bream (Megalobrama amblycephala), the 200 cm yellowcheek (Elopichthys bambusa), the 145 cm common carp (Cyprinus carpio carpio), the 122 cm Mongolian redfin (Chanodichthys mongolicus), the 102 cm predatory carp (Chanodichthys erythropterus) and the 100 cm snakehead (Channa argus argus).. The demersal fish Silurus meridionalis also is found as a Yangtze River endemic species.

Now, please, don't start worrying about your newest Stereophile reviewer. I've owned my share of Julie London and Jennifer Warnes records, but these days I'm more into Hazel Dickens and Maybelle Carter. It's summertime, fish are jumpin', and that dirt-road American music is getting me high.
When I receive a product sample for review, I look forward to taking photos while I unpack the thing, as a guide to repacking for later on. This company provided an illustrated packing listit was the first thing I saw on slitting open the carton. I look forward to crafting amusing remarks about poorly written or whimsically translated owner's manuals; this company provided the clearest, most comprehensive manual I've ever seen. I look forward to having some sort of anomalous eventsmoke, noise, or smoke and noiseto write about. This product offered nothing of the sort.
It was fall 2000. I'd just begun working at Stereophile, and I clearly remember sheepishly, innocently putting this question to former senior editor Jonathan Scull.
I think the question confused himnot because he didn't know the answer, but because the answer seemed so obvious, the question itself should have been unnecessary. How could anyone not know what an integrated amplifier is? I might as well have asked, "What's a song?"
So it goes with the new AX-5 amplifier ($9950) from Ayre Acoustics, in which designer Charles Hansen has both revived an overlooked technology from a half-century ago and brought to market a more affordable embodiment of one of his own most well-received products.
Need a DAC with three S/PDIF inputs (two coax, one optical)? An asynchronous USB DAC? A line stage? A tubed output buffer? A power amp that should be able to drive even difficult speaker loads? Remote control? You've got them all for $1499. Just add speakers. (I assume you have a laptop computer and several disc spinners.) You may want a separate phono stage, because there is none onboard.

Orangutans using iPads at zoos - soon to use Skype
By Eric Mack
January 4, 2012
Turns out we aren't that different from other apes after all. Our primate cousins at a handful of zoos love to use iPads to combat boredom just as much as humans. Zookeepers say that the device is perfect for orangutans, and many have been taking part in guided touchscreen interactions with all sorts of apps, including music, games, movies, cartoons, art, painting, drawing, photos and videos. The orangutans have been playing with the iPads for the past several months, and now a U.S. charity is hoping to round up more of the tablets so the apes can Skype with orangutans at other zoos.
"They like many of the free apps that I think children would like - they like the free apps where you can fingerpaint, they like the apps where you can use the drums," says Trish Khan, Milwaukee County Zoo's orangutan keeper.
She adds that some of the orangutans' interest in the slates isn't that far off from how humans might use them. For example, she says that four-year-old male Mahal likes using video apps, primarily to watch footage recorded of himself, while MJ, a 31-year-old female, enjoys watching video of male orangutans.
The iPads help provide a little extra enrichment, physical and mental stimulation for the apes living in captivity. Zoo Atlanta and the Smithsonian National Zoo are among the other facilities that have demonstrated apes' skills with a touchscreen.
Now that the apes in Milwaukee have had several months to become familiar with the iPads, the U.S.-based charity Orangutan Outreach would like to go one step further, turning on WiFi on the tablets to allow the apes to watch and Skype with their compatriots at other zoos, sort of like a pixelized primate pen pal program.
The group's Richard Zimmerman told the BBC they're not yet comfortable just handing the tablets over to the apes, even with a protective cover.
"As soon as we hand them over to the orangutans, we figure the lifespan could be as little as 15 seconds - whether they meticulously take them apart or just snap them in half."
Some possible solutions include developing a new protective case or affixing the iPad to a wall - the image from the tablet could then be projected elsewhere for zoo visitors to watch.
Orangutan Outreach is accepting donations of cash or gently used iPads to get more tablets in the hands of apes and their zookeepers, who are interested in participating in the program. Zimmerman said that they're hoping first-generation iPads will become more affordable and accessible once the iPad 3 debuts in the coming months.

Well that explains the quality of most of the apps I've downloaded recently.
Lets hope some joker doesn't give Zimmerman an infinte number of donations!

This is great! Now we will have to air drop I-Pads, mobile phones & other hi tech into our rapidly diminishing jungles....And also provide electricity and charging outlets in the middle of the Borneo jungles. On the bright side, we will soon have military grade I-pads that can withstand the harsh jungle environments. And orang-utans that will know what we did to their cousins in labs all over the world.
No need to teach them words, we'll just show them videos....

Former NHL coach Robbie Ftorek has been hired by the Calgary Flames to serve as an assistant coach for the AHL's Abbotsford Heat.
"In light of our commitment to rebuilding, and providing our young players with a chance to play, there is even greater importance being placed on development and getting our prospects ready to contribute as quickly as possible in Calgary," said Flames general manager Jay Feaster in a release. "In support of that mission, we are thrilled to be able to add such an experienced coach and teacher as Robbie Ftorek to our organization. Robbie's experience at every level of hockey, from the CHL to the AHL to the NHL, provides our players, and our coaching staffs, an incredible wealth of hockey knowledge on which to draw, and we believe he and Troy Ward will do a great job together in developing players for the Flames."
Ftorek, 61, played 334 NHL games before he served as head coach for the Los Angeles Kings, New Jersey Devils and Boston Bruins.
Among the players Ftorek coached in Los Angeles? One Wayne Gretzky.
But Ftorek didn't last long in L.A. — the Kings fired Ftorek after just one full season behind the bench, and his relationship with the Great One, who had just been traded from Edmonton, was a big reason why.
From the L.A. Times (May 3, 1989):
On the night of Nov. 23, the Kings were beating the Red Wings and Gretzky was having what might have been a record night for points. When Gretzky felt that he had lapsed and contributed to a Detroit goal toward the end of the second period, he hit his stick on the back of the net in his anger at himself.
In the dressing room between the second and third periods, Ftorek announced that Gretzky would be benched at the start of the third period because Ftorek wanted to teach the team to be disciplined.
Gretzky fired back at Ftorek: "Robbie, if you want to teach, go back to New Haven. We're here to win the Stanley Cup."
Obviously, that was a long time ago. But it's pretty slow, so there's your hockey history lesson for the day, kids.

You'd think once we got to a certain age he would drop the childish "Robbie" and just go with a more mature "Rob" Ftorek. Then again, this is the same guy who threw a temper tantrum along with the team's bench on the ice during a game. Great work Robbie!
- 48colorrainbow - Aug 7, 2013 at 4:45 PM
For me, the bench-throwing incident was Ftorek's defining moment.

Robbie was the best high school player in Massachusetts his entire 3 years of varsity. He also was the best sportsman and gentleman. I watched him in many games in the high school playoffs rag the puck rather than roll up the score. He was amazing to watch and a credit to the game. Say what you will ,but any father would be proud to have a son with such great talent who always showed respect for his opponents. My team was terrible so we had many opportunities to watch Needham High play.
- tlaughlin2 - Aug 7, 2013 at 6:34 PM
I had the opportunity to get to know and work with Robbie while he was in the AHL and during his time with the Kings, Devils and Bruins.
A great guy, made a lot of guys better players and more important better human beings.
Glad he is still in the game.

Creating Worldviews

Announced at
AUTHOR: James W. Underhill
TITLE: Creating Worldviews
SUBTITLE: Metaphor, Ideology and Language
PUBLISHER: Edinburgh University Press
Heather Walker Peterson, Department of English and Literature, Northwestern
College, St. Paul, MN
A follow-up to ''Humboldt, Worldview, and Language,'' James W. Underhill's book
''Creating Worldviews'' is divided into two parts: part one is a review and
critique of metaphor theory, and part two consists of three case studies that
tie together discourse analysis and metaphor theory. The book includes a 44-page
glossary (providing explanations with examples of his and other scholars' key
terms), a bibliography, and a brief index.
Part one begins with Underhill's explanation of worldview. In chapter 1,
"Metaphor and World-Conceiving," he reviews his past argument, heavily
influenced by Humboldt, that worldview regarding language and individuals is
best characterized by five divisions: "world-perceiving," "world conceiving,"
"cultural mindset," "personal world," and "perspective." While
"world-perceiving" has to do with people's understanding of language,
"world-conceiving" has to do with people's forming a worldview as they talk and
write about their thoughts and emotions (pp. 7 & 203). "Cultural mindset" is a
worldview of a political or religious institutions, "personal world" is that of
an individual, and "perspective" emphasizes the constant shifting of an
individual's world conceiving and perceiving. Underhill affirms Humboldt's
pursuit of conceptual connections within language: "the paths offered up by the
language system to its language community" (p. 11). As an example of these
"networks," he mentions the word "freedom," which brings up different images and
historical notions in the U.S. versus in the former Czechoslovakia (p. 10).
Getting into these networks is how we begin to comprehend other worldviews, a
point of view that privileges translators and philologists over formal linguists
comparing structures.
Chapter 2, "A Concern for Metaphor," and chapter 3, "Metaphors We Live By," are
two brief chapters focused on reviewing Lakoff and Johnson's (1999) work.
Although Underhill commends Lakoff and Johnson for their contribution of thought
as "embodied," he points out that two neglected non-English theorists, the
German philosopher Cassirer (1968, 1953) and French rhetorical analyst Matoré
(1962) made similar arguments earlier. Underhill also appreciates that Lakoff
and Johnson's theories posit that language "organises" reality for us, that
imagination is primary to thought, and that all language is "metaphoric,"
although he sees loss in their blurring of rhetorical categories of figurative
language (pp. 22-24). In Chapter 3, he summarizes seven points of Lakoff and
Johnson's work: metaphors "live," "form systemic constructs," "highlight and
hide," "often contradict one another," "are grounded in experience," "create
similarity," and are "the cardinal trope" (pp. 25-29).
Underhill demonstrates in chapter 4, "Other Developments in Metaphor Theory,"
that metaphor theory is interdisciplinary, not the domain of cognitive
linguistics exclusively. Philosophers, linguists, literary critics, and
rhetorical scholars have all pondered metaphor and often with more narrow
definitions than those used by cognitive linguists, particularly in the
discipline of rhetoric. His list of philosophers theorizing metaphor runs from
Aristotle and Plato to Wittgenstein and Derrida. Ricœur (1975) insisted upon the
examination of metaphor within discourse, casting disregard on the assumption
that one feature is simplistically transferred from a source to a target. The
linguist Brook-Rose (1958) gave examples that showed that metaphorical language
is often not as nominal as is frequently assumed. Often, it is adjectival, such
as "the visiting moon" (p. 207, in Underhill 2011, p. 38), or verbal, such as
"the ship ploughs the waves" (p. 206, in Underhill 2011, p. 37). Turner and
Lakoff (1989) explained that literary metaphors, in Underhill's words, "force us
to see the world anew" (p. 39). The scholar of rhetoric Morier (1989)
subcategorized metaphor, illustrating its extensiveness in all of language.
In Chapter 5, "Further Cognitive Contributions to Metaphor Theory," Underhill
covers works of other cognitive metaphor theorists. He appreciates that Eubanks'
method has been to study actual speech, showing that "not only do metaphors
shape thought, thought in discourse carves anew the contours of our metaphors"
(p. 45). It is not that we are immersed only unconsciously in conceptual
metaphors, but as Eubanks (2000) showed in his Trade-Is-War examples, we
consciously, in Underhill's words, "invoke" and "harness" metaphors in what
Eubanks calls a "discursive strategy." In this chapter, Underhill also reviews
Goatly's explanation of the revising of conceptual metaphors to fit into a
"history of ideas" (p. 50). He admires Turner and Fauconnier's (2003) work for
an explanation of "blending" of target and source domains, but critiques them
and other cognitive linguists for seeking a universalistic approach in metaphor
studies rather than "partial equivalence" (p. 62). Underhill fears that in
seeking to show that some conceptual metaphors are common in all languages,
cognitive linguists may be unwittingly forcing other languages into an English
To illustrate partial equivalence, in chapter 6, "Diversity on the Periphery,"
Underhill's final chapter in part 1 of the book, he reviews studies comparing
metaphor across languages. Key to the rest of the book is the work of Dirven
(1985) on lexical extension by metaphor. Underhill explains that one of
Dirven's "motors" for lexical extension was "synaesthesia," in which one sense
activated another sense, as in the phrase "warm colors," which Dirven recognized
as associated with fire (Dirven 1985, p. 99, in Underhill 2011, p. 65). Dirven
showed that metaphors could shape the lexicon through morphology. He provided
examples of the diminutive suffix used in phrases about the heart: "hartje," as
indicating the "inmost part of a place" rather than the non-diminutive form
"hart" (Underhill 2011, p. 66).
In part 2 of the book, Underhill dedicates each chapter to a case study of
metaphors, first in the language of Czechoslovakian communists, then the
language of Nazism, and finally language praising one's own language -- examples
from French and English -- and language calling for maintenance of language
diversity. In each of these chapters, he presents primarily the works of
native-speaker scholars. In Chapter 7, "The Language of Czechoslovak Communist
Power," he describes essayist Petr Fidelius's study of the Party newspaper Rudé
Právo, in which he concluded that the Party's language did indeed have a logic.
Underhill describes four concepts that were clustered: history, people, Party,
and State. Czechoslavakian communists promoted history as a "trajectory" and a
"machine" -- a progressive metaphor. The people join this trajectory in bringing
about progress, making anyone who stood in the way of such progress an enemy.
The Party as the "nucleus" of the people not only told them what life was but
was responsible for "activating" them as if they were without life or were
asleep before -- a metaphorical twist of objectification that Underhill names
"personified reification" (pp.105-106). The "State" was called an organ, but it
was not clearly distinct from the Party. The spatial metaphor of the Party as a
"movement" would lead to its decline because of the challenge of the Party
remaining a movement when its destination of a socialist nation appears to have
been reached. Underhill presents a list of political terms, meant to challenge
English-speaking readers to recognize that supposedly equivalent terms in Czech
could mean something somewhat different because of the differing conceptual
linguistic framework, e.g., "politics" defined as "social activity to defend
class interests" (p.119). He concludes the chapter by explaining that one cannot
understand one of the four concepts without understanding the others. This
"cultural mindset," he reminds us, harnessed concepts already within the Czech
language within a particular time period.
Chapter 8, "Hitlerdeutsch: Klemperer and the Language of the Third Reich,"
contains an analysis of excerpts of Nazi discourse that may be little known.
Underhill claims that Nazi rhetoric with its goal of "perversion" cannot be seen
as similar to the Czech communist language with its goal of "reason" and
"enlightening." He hails the German-Jewish philologist Klemperer (2006) as a
hero who secretly documented his observations of the language of the Third
Reich, "Hitlerdeutsch." Nazism reduced the concept of people to mere sentiment,
personified "race," and relied on clichés to act as common sense. Underhill
argues that by promoting "purity," it could demonize Jews as the opposite with a
binary definition, essentializing and excluding them. Confusion was a strategy
of Nazi rhetoric so that reason would be withheld -- thus, anything that
challenged Nazism, even socialism, was blamed on the Jews. Underhill illustrates
this by comparing Goebbels' propaganda with his private diary, showing that his
embrace of only sentiment and his dismissal of reason produced a rhetoric of
racism. Underhill concludes the chapter delineating an ideology's transformation
of language, its re-networking of concepts : "the ideology adapts to the
language, and the language…in turn adapts to the ideology" (p.168).
In Underhill's final case study, "Language in Metaphors," in chapter 9, he
begins by reviewing historical commentary praising the aesthetics of French with
much reference to a sardonic work of Henri Meschonnic (1997) on this topic. The
majority of the chapter, however, is a critique of the ecological metaphor of
languages used by both Académie française member Hagège (2000) and British
linguist Crystal (2000) in their arguments for language diversity. Underhill
claims that without entering the study of language as philologists, without
really seeing the networking of meaning, such talk makes Hagège and Crystal into
"museum curators" (p. 227). Both Hagège and Crystal want it both ways, Underhill
argues: diversity and yet a privileged language, French (Hagège) or English
(Crystal). Crystal's insistence that outsiders must save languages whether the
speakers are interested in doing so or not -- to be "stewards" of the garden of
languages -- has the metaphorical underpinnings of Protestantism, coming in to
save the teeming, unenlightened masses -- a kind of "colonial rhetoric" (p.
230). The answer to a concern for language diversity is Humboldt's "Sprachsinn,"
which can only come of individual speech and of language's relationship to
imagination. Underhill applies "Sprachsinn" synonymously with a "sense of
language," describing it as what "stimulates a language's capacity to welcome us
into its world, enabling us to express that world and thereby act within it and
upon it" (perhaps defined as the creative potential of language to perceive and
conceive worldviews) (p. 235). Not realizing this connection reveals linguists'
disinterest in "perception" and a focus on "conception," the tendency of most
worldview discussions. It is only individual speakers who can save their own
language: only they know how the world is enlivened through their spoken
Underhill's "Final Word" reminds the reader of some of his themes: certainly
individuals cannot "escape" languages and worldviews, and yet it is individuals
who critique and re-shape them, as literary study has shown us. In the end, he
lauds "Sprachsinn."
Certainly, Underhill follows through on what he sees as lacking in metaphor
studies: he shares insights from non-English-speaking scholars, he examines
individual speech, he translates from other languages, he notes the history of
concepts, and he demonstrates individuals not being entirely subsumed by the
discourse of a prevailing ideology. For all these characteristics, this book is
an invaluable contribution to the field of metaphor studies.
His challenge to linguists that translators and philologists have the upper hand
in understanding the relationship of worldviews to metaphors is robust (and
therefore worth reading) but occasionally tiresome. Even the structure of the
book seems a subtle affront to linguists. There is the apparent disjunction of
two chapters critiquing regimes' discourses followed by one critiquing discourse
about language by Western European scholars. Underhill is intent on showing that
it takes someone remarkable, such as Fidelius and Klemperer, to resist and "to
make a difference" (p. 238) within dominant discourses, even those which are not
political. It cannot be accidental that he juxtaposes the work of Meschonnic
(likely somewhat of a tribute to a late friend), a brilliant translator who
sarcastically described those who glorify French, with the works of linguists,
Crystal's praise of English and Hagège's devotion to French. For Underhill,
Meschonnic is one who has "made a difference" in studies of language, and he
refers to him again in his second to last paragraph of the book before ending on
In its description of the relation of ideology to language, this book will be
helpful for a wide range of readers, particularly a reader pondering the ethics
of an ideology's language production. We "invoke" or "harness" conceptual
metaphors that are often conflicting. In part, as Lakoff and Johnson (1980) have
written, the contradictory nature of multiple metaphors may help us to see
multiple perspectives. Also, as Underhill demonstrates with Crystal's views on
language, contradiction to some extent is unavoidable since even thinkers and
writers cannot entirely escape a cultural mindset despite their resistance to
the clichés that ideologies are dependent on. For a prevailing ideology,
contradiction may be unintended, spread by propaganda, perhaps even produced by
disparate institutions and individuals, such as journalists from democratic,
western nations. With his study of Nazi rhetoric, Underhill describes a
situation when conflicting metaphors became an intended "perversion," leading to
atrocities such as genocide. Yet he also characterizes the demanding time period
of Germany post-World War I and the availability of metaphors to be invoked from
both science and the church.
Besides cognitive linguists, this book will also be invaluable for critical
discourse analysts wishing to incorporate the study of metaphor into their work

research, as well as for scholars of rhetoric and of worldview. Readers might,
as I did, have to review frequently Underhill's various subcategories of
worldview in the glossary (a definite plus, given the brevity of the index). It
may be that I am biased toward "world-conceiving" as he suggests, since I often
had to re-think the shade of difference with the term "world-perceiving."
Likewise, readers may be intrigued by the notion of "Sprachsinn" but may be left
wondering if it is not described just as idealistically and romantically as

Re: HDFS Sink log rotation on the basis of time of writing
Hi Brock,
But then if I rotate frequently e.g. every minute, the total number of files in a single folder of HDFS will go into thousands very quickly. I am not sure how/if that will affect HDFS namenode performance and I worry that it may suffer. I don't have a lot of experience with HDFS, do you happen to know if having thousands of files in a single directory in HDFS is common?

Since many gun enthusiasts may have an apparent love connection between them and their ever- growing arsenal of weapons bordering on eroticism, it seems clear no lucid argument supporting limited controls and proper gun registrations can be decisive in the immediate future. Continuing gun violence and cries of "enough" will eventually crack the unconscionable resistance of the National Rifle Association to change, but America must endure a slow evolutionary process before this nation joins the ranks of the enlightened and civilized.
By comparison, over the decades, the general populace has come to recognize the ultimate dangers of tobacco smoking, including the serious health impact on nonsmokers through exposure to second- and third-hand smoke residue.
By supporting popular bans on smoking in public venues and detrimental taxes on tobacco products, the tide has turned on an addiction that ruined the lives of countless millions.
While not original in thought, and previously suggested by courageous lawmakers, until the day arrives when gun registrations and background checks are unquestionably accurate (especially at gun shows) and military-style "war weapons" are banned, why not impose a severe tax on bullets? A tax so extreme as to discourage mass accumulations of the means of death. A limit to firepower by limiting the power to fire.
What say you Congress?

Flight Attendant Grounded
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) - Delta Airlines says it has pulled a flight attendant from a Buffalo, N.Y.-to-Atlanta flight because a security screener thought he was acting erratically and might not be fit to fly.
Delta tells local media in Buffalo that the Transportation Security Administration reported the potential problem after the crew was screened before Flight 1266's scheduled departure at 6:15 a.m. Wednesday.
The airline didn't detail the actions that worried the screener but said there was no security threat.
Passengers hadn't yet boarded the plane. It left three hours late with a replacement for the attendant.
The episode comes just more than a week after a JetBlue Airways captain's frightening behavior on a New York-to-Las Vegas flight forced an emergency landing in Texas.
He has been charged with interfering with a flight crew.

Many people will be agree that its time for public listening test.
Short Agenda: 1. Organization 2. Samples 3. Codecs 4. Bitrates Detailed Agenda: 1. Organization. People with experience of personal or public test are welcome here. Personally I can afford help for conduction of test. Unfortunately if I understand correctly that Sebastian informed that he dont want to conduct public tests. 2. Samples. Different styles of music, different levels of difficulty, pointing issues etc....? To be discussed here or in separate topic. 3. Codecs 3.a) Multiformat test. 3.b) AAC test. I think that its more appropriate to conduct AAC test because there are at least 3 AAC encoders to test. Nero, Apple and Coding Technologies/Dolby. All these codecs were updated during this year. More information in List of AAC encoders 4.Bitrates. 96-100 kbits/s? It's possible to perform test at 128 kbits/s with very hard samples. Aemese-like samples will be very easy to spot from original. Sorry for my English. All kind of thoughts and suggestions are welcomed here. -------------------- http://listening-test.coresv.net/results.htm

Regarding the bitrates, I have run some tests using my standard "Various" and "Classical" file sets.
Sow far I have encoded the sets with: - iTunes VBR @ 96 kbps and @ 128 kbps - QT tvbr @ -64 (i.e. about 128 kbps), "best" quality -- or whatever the actual string is, I don't have the settings in front of me now. Am I understanding correctly, that the constrained VBR setting in QT is more likely to be tested than the "constrained" iTunes VBR? I'd prefer iTunes because then the test would tell if using QT is worthwhile. (edit: ... i.e. if using QT tvbr instead of iTunes is worthwhile) I could add the latest Nero and try to find a matching setting. Apparently the test is going to be a "128" test, or is "96" still a possibilty? In general, does anyone have an opinion of which method should be used for checking the AAC bitrates? Should we blindly trust the applications that just read the header data? For instance, foobar and Mr QuestionMan don't always agree. Actually, apparently Mr Q. can't read QT tvbr files at all, but that can be fixed by retagging the files.

Manhattan has a list of city-specific fashion rules too numerous to list here, but let's just say that new label Maggy Frances is a testament to a top fiver: Less is more for fall. This vibrantly-printed collection of classic basics comes from New York designer Maggy Schultz (who's only 24!), and her line's suite of tailored, sharp separates is exactly keyed to our borough-bound mindset. We'll put it this way: When wardrobe square footage costs more than even Midas would cough up, bulky on-trend outerwear seems more like closet cloggers. That's the last thing we need!

Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. These books are contemporary with the Hornblower novels, but a good deal less technical, The descriptions of the ocean and seafaring are vivid. Captain Butterfield is capable of great, unbelievable, stupidity. There was a certain comedy in the ineptness of the gunner and the helmsman, and the fact that only one person on the ship knew how to navigate. But that may very well have been par for the course with small merchantmen of that time. 17-year-old John Spencer is finishing up his apprenticeship on his father's merchantman, the Dragon on its way to the West Indies. John laughs at his father's fears of cannibals and pirates, but things begin to go awry when the Dragon picks up a castaway in the middle of the ocean - a man feared as a Jonah. The truth, however, may be far more sinister as the Dragon is swept into the path of the fearsome buccaneer Bartholomew Grace and his lust for treasure. The historical flavor is well done, and the details are nicely explained in an author's note at the end. John Spencer remains honorable and steadfast, but he's no paragon of virtue either. His lack of attention to his studies lands the crew in significant trouble. But he shows great courage and good sense as well. The only thing that bothered me really was the climactic scene. Bartholomew Grace was built up as this hugely fearsome pirate - so brutal and horrid that it is barely imaginable, yet his fate seems over much too quickly and without adequate payoff. I kept expecting him to re-emerge as a character. Aside from that minor quibble, I thoroughly enjoyed the story, and I would highly recommend it to those seeking an adventurous (or nautical) read.

Michael Ondaatje
Michael Ondaatje (Philip Michael Ondaatje) (ändät´chā), 1943–, Canadian writer, b. Colombo, Sri Lanka (then Ceylon). Immigrating (1962) to Canada, he attended the Univ. of Toronto (B.A., 1965) and Queen's Univ., Ontario (M.A., 1967). Since 1971 he has been an English professor at Glendon College, York Univ., Toronto. His first published works were poems, noted for their mixture of fact and fiction, real and surreal. His Collected Works of Billy the Kid (1970) blends poetry, prose, and visual materials into a compelling portrait of the American outlaw. Other poetry collections include The Dainty Monsters (1967), Rat Jelly (1973), The Cinnamon Peeler (1990), and Handwriting (1998). Ondaatje is best known for his novels, which also blend reality and imagination, exploring a variety of cultures and mingling present and past in richly evocative prose. The antithesis of linear narrative, his fiction is filled with incident and coincidence, often changing abruptly in time, style, and point of view. With his most celebrated novel, The English Patient (1992; film 1996), a tale of love and betrayal set in a ruined Italian villa during World War II, Ondaatje became the first Canadian to win the Booker Prize. His other novels are Coming through Slaughter (1976), In the Skin of a Lion (1987), Anil's Ghost (2000), Divisadero (2007), and The Cat's Table (2011). He also has written screenplays and edited anthologies and a literary journal.
See his memoir, Running in the Family (1982); studies by L. Mundwiler (1984), S. Solecki, ed. (1985), D. Barbour (1993), and E. Jewinski (1994).

책임: | Andrew Blum. |
When your Internet cable leaves your living room, where does it go? Almost everything about our day-to-day lives--and the broader scheme of human culture--can be found on the Internet. But what is it physically? And where is it really? Our mental map of the network is as blank as the map of the ocean that Columbus carried on his first Atlantic voyage. The Internet, its material nuts and bolts, is an unexplored territory. Until now. In Tubes, journalist Andrew Blum goes inside the Internet's physical infrastructure and flips on the lights, revealing an utterly fresh look at the online world we think we know. It is a shockingly tactile realm of unmarked compounds, populated by a special caste of engineer who pieces together our networks by hand; where glass fibers pulse with light and creaky telegraph buildings, tortuously rewired, become communication hubs once again. From the room in Los Angeles where the Internet first flickered to life to the caverns beneath Manhattan where new fiber-optic cable is buried; from the coast of Portugal, where a ten-thousand-mile undersea cable just two thumbs wide connects Europe and Africa, to the wilds of the Pacific Northwest, where Google, Microsoft, and Facebook have built monumental data centers--Blum chronicles the dramatic story of the Internet's development, explains how it all works, and takes the first-ever in-depth look inside its hidden monuments. This is a book about real places on the map: their sounds and smells, their storied pasts, their physical details, and the people who live there. For all the talk of the "placelessness" of our digital age, the Internet is as fixed in real, physical spaces as the railroad or telephone. You can map it and touch it, and you can visit it. Is the Internet in fact "a series of tubes" as Ted Stevens, the late senator from Alaska, once famously described it? How can we know the Internet's possibilities if we don't know its parts? Like Tracy Kidder's classic The Soul of a New Machine or Tom Vanderbilt's recent bestseller Traffic, Tubes combines on-the-ground reporting and lucid explanation into an engaging, mind-bending narrative to help us understand the physical world that underlies our digital lives.

Becoming the Winter
First I hear the cracking. I can feel through my bare feet the hair-thin lines spreading across the ice. And then everything beneath me vanishes.
I fall, plunging into the icy blue depths, and watch, helpless as the jagged frame of pale light slowly slips further away.
I reach out towards the watery light, even as my fingers lose all feeling.
The cold presses in, seeping past my skin, spreading through my bones and into my heart.
But even as I sink, feeling my blood become ice, I close my eyes in relief, because she is safe.
Everything else fades away.
Except the cold.
It is the cold more than anything else that is suffocating. Pressing in, closing out all else. Taking away the light.
And it doesn't go away.
It seeps in, past my heart, beyond my blood, into my very soul.
And now my soul is slipping away, melting into the frozen water.
Memory becomes liquid and flows away.
Then I feel it.
The touch of cool, silvery light. A touch I

Sergio Perez targets the 2013 World Championship as he starts work at McLaren
Youngster full of confidence as he arrives in style at Woking

Sergio Perez has described his transfer to McLaren "as a dream come true" and reiterated his belief that he can win the World Championship in 2013.
The young Mexican has been hired to replace Lewis Hamilton and arrived - in the comfort of a £200,000 open-top MP4-12C - at McLaren's Woking HQ for his first day of work with his new team on Wednesday before wasting little time in making a confident statement of ambitious intent.
"As soon as you walk through these doors, you see these great cars and there is so much history with this team that you immediately feel great. It's a dream come true to drive for this team," the former Sauber driver told Sky Sports News' Craig Slater.

When you come to McLaren, this [winning the World Championship] must be your target, otherwise you shouldn't join McLaren. Everybody here is working for that goal and I'm coming here to do the same."
To achieve that target, however, Perez must first beat 2009 World Champion Button, considered by many pundits to now be McLaren's de facto number one following Hamilton's defection to Mercedes. Yet the 22-year-old has no doubts that both he and Button - set to start the new season as the most experienced driver on the grid - can thrive in McLaren's new-look partnership.
"Jenson is a very fast driver and one of the best in the world," acknowledged Perez. "It's a guarantee he will be fast and competitive. I will have to make my own space, but I think I will be able to work with Jenson. I've got a lot to learn from him but at the same time I want to beat him."
Despite frequently impressing during a 2012 season which included his first trips onto the F1 podium, Perez remains a raw talent with his new team boss, Martin Whitmarsh, describing the youngster as "a diamond that needs polishing". Qualifying, in particular, remains an area for improvement and Perez knows that he faces a steep challenge as he gets to grips with the extra demands and expectation that being a McLaren driver brings.
"Being here at McLaren will help me improve in many areas," he commented. "It will be much more intense than I have been used to. I think once the season starts will look again at where we can improve, but first of all we have to go to testing and Jenson and I will have to do everything we can to make sure we have a competitive car."
The 2013 McLaren is scheduled to be unveiled on January 31, with winter testing commencing the following week at Jerez.

On the road, the Pilot does a fine job, and there is no noticeable lack of power. The cabin has lots of cubbies for drinks, maps, iPods, and the stuff that always seems to accumulate during an extended drive. Seats are comfortable, but the ride was a bit noisy.
At the track, the Pilot motored to 60 mph in 8.5 seconds and ran through the quarter mile in 16.6 seconds at 83.6 mph. Braking from 60 mph took a longish 142 feet. Those aren't bad numbers, but they certainly aren't class-leading.
But overall, the Pilot acquits itself well as a daily driver, with a comfortable cabin filled with cool amenities -- at least when all the option boxes are checked. Hondas are known for their safety features, and the Pilot is no exception. Included are front, side, and three-row side curtain airbags, stability control, ABS, and ACE body structure. It has some towing capacity (3500 pounds max for 2WD and 4500 pounds for 4WD) and adults can actually sit in the third row.
For those who want the convenience and room of a sport/utility vehicle, but don't need strong off-road capability or higher towing capacity, the Honda fits the bill. Like many of the larger crossovers on the market, it has many of the positive attributes of a traditional SUV, but with a nicer ride and slightly better fuel economy. The Pilot is a vehicle that simply goes about doing its job, and does it well.
